For after the sugar, the -four and the meal
Comes cup of sour cream; but unless you

Sour cream is as scarce as June bugs in De-

So here an alternative nicely contrived
Is suggested your mind TO relieve:
And show how you without stealing at all
The ground that seems lost may retrive.
Instead of sour cream take one cup Of milk,
"Sweet milk" what sweet phrase to utter!
And to make it cream-like. put into the cup
Just three teaspoonfuls Of butter:
Cream Of tarter, one tablespoonful: rules d.

But no, cream of tartar 1t is without doubt
And so the alternative makes itself out.
OF soda the half OF a teaspoonful add,
Or else your poor corn-cake will 60 to the bad;
Two eggs must be broken without being beat;
Then Of salt teaspoonful your work will COM

Twenty minutes OF baking are needful to bring
To the point Of perfection this "awfM good

To eat at the best this remarkable cake,
You should fish all day long on the royal named
lake,
With the bright waters glancing in glorious
light.
And beauties unnumbered bewildering your
sight
On mountain and lake. in water and sky;
And then, when the shadows fall down from on
high,
Seek Sabbath Day Point as light fades away,
And end with this feast the anglers long day.
Then. you will findiwitnout any question
That an appetite honest waits on digestion.

A Point to Observe.

A gill of grain a day, if no more.
will make the lamb fat. Put corn and
bran together and give each sheep. at
least pint day, and the lamb can be
put into market a month o, so sooner.
This will make as much difference as
the grain costs, and very likely more.
The extra manure made will also help.
Stinting the sheep is the poorest kind
of economy. When a sheep is gelring
thinner the wool does not grow. only
less. The future of successful farming
lies in better and wiser feeding of ami
mails. Farmers want to get right at it
and study the subject to the bottom
and do their best. t.-Our Country Home.

uniform in bearing witness to rising

noticing that the investment of mon

Last week the greatest landowner
in New York State made an assign
ment for the benefit OF his creditors,
his assets consisting chiefly of farms
in Oneida, Otsego, Madison, Chenanso,
and other countries of central New
York. 1t is believed that the proper
ty will sell under the hammer for ST..
700 900 or more, and the whole Of it
had been worked for all that q hard,
avaricions min like George Clark, the
land-greedy bankrupt in question,
could not get out OF it by scrcwihg
rents up to the last notch. Yet the
result was ruin. just as it was in the
case OF the great Sullivant estates in
Illinois which, a.{ew years ago, contain
ed more than As, 900 acres of land.
Both experiments in landlordism on q
huge scale proved dismal failures be-;
cause the craze'for land buying led to
a vast credit system which turned all
the revenues of the farms into the in,
satiable NAV of the mortrage holders.

Enormous Increase Of Western Trade.

The weekly trade review by r. G. Dun &
Co., OF Now York says: The feature OF bus
mess reports is the enormous increase re-
ported at many Western points. In that
section the Interstate act, though checking
trade at some important points, seems to
have produced a feeling OF extraordinary
confidence in q much larger number OF
towns. Other causes, particularly the
speculation in real estate and tho &C
tivity in Notwithstanding t., swell thc
transactions Surprisingly. AT Cncin-
cent over last yoar, at St. Louis 10 per cont
and at Chicago II, whilo st. Paul and San
Francisco report gains Of d per cont,
Memphis, St. Joseph, Peoria, exceeding 80
per cent, Indianapolis and Denver nearly
80 per cent, Omaha 1O2 per cent and
Wichita, Kan, 40 per cent. Apart from
land trading and new building, other bust
ness has been remarkably active through
out that region. St. Paul notes q
and Milwaukee distinct improve
ment in trade and collections, and the sup.
ply of money seems everywhere ample.
Eastern cities do not find u corresponding
improvement in trade. Large amounts OF
capital are going to the West on mortgage
loans. Railroad earnings give proof that
while traffic is large the increase falls far
short OF reported grains IN the volume OF
business in the West Reports OF railroads
for April show an average increase OF II
per cent in gross earnings over last year.
Already 97G miles OF railroad have been
completed against 652 to date last year,
and new contracts are offered in great
variety and large amounts. but the uncer-
tain prospects as to rates and the decis
ions Of the interstate commission affects
investments in stocks, though prices have
improved little. The enormous supply
OF money goes far to explain the situation.
Not only has the treasury added about
1872, 900 to the circulation in April, but
the abundance and cheapness of money in
London are clearly felt here.

appointments OF superintendent of that de-

f. Hoard, secretary of the state agricul-

says:
Mr.. Bushnell is deeply Interested in build
ing up q splendid representative exhibit in
this department., and the managers are
anxious to assist in every reasonable way
in securing such an exhibit and in drawing
attention to our state and the Northwest
rs region where good machinery Is not
only used and needed. but where it Is also
made in great perfection. 1t is apprOpri-
ate that the manufac curing and commercial
interests OF our state should be as we'll rep.

Decision Of Iowa Railroad Commissioners,

The Iowa railroad commissioners, in the
case of the complaint OF Gov. Larrabee
against the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy
;ailroad, gave their decision. They say:
The complaint makes it their duty to de-
termine whether or not the railroad COM
pany had charged an unreasonable rate.
The government had arraigned and
put them on trial before the bar of public
opinion for the manner in which
they had performed their. duties, and had
given them notice that unless they redeem
cd themselves the commission would have
to 80. Lengthy quotations are made from
the governors criticisms of prior action OF
the board and for their alleged neglect OF
duty. They cay that in February last they
held in this same case that the shipment OF
coal from Cleveland on the %" route
from Glenwood, 1876 miles, and to
Council bluffs, l57 miles, were un-
der like conditions and circumstances ex-
cept distance; that 81. so per ton for the
longer distance was excessive and unjust
discrimination and they recommended =
revision of the tariff rates to conform to
the provisions of the interstate law. The
road advanced its Council Bluff rate to
$1.9O. A rehearing was had. and the
commission, after reviewing the arguments
and q careful study OF rates on coal
roads, find general concession is
made at competing points. From
all sources of Information possible they de-
eide that for class "A" roads, a proper
terminal charge is 3Ocents a ton. An ad-
ditional reasonable rate up to 100 miles
distance should be 8 mills per ton per mile;
to 200 miles, mills; to 300 miles, 6 mills;
to 400 miles, mills, to 500 miles, mills
per ton. The reasonable rate on coal
from Cleveland to Glenwood would be
$1.45.
The decision OF the commission is unan-
imous. This is the first decision on ''long
and short haul' rates in that state.

In the time of Richard Cpur de Lion
money coined in the Eastern parts of
Germany came into special request in
England on account OF its purity, and
was called Easterling money, as all the
inhabitants of those parts were called
Easterlings-from which came the
term sterling, as expressive ola stand

saws that men were sent for from the
Easterling country, in the reign of
King John, to instruct the English in
coming money, and he derives the
word sterling directly from this cir.

Rev Charles Ward formerly rector OF St.

j., who shot himself and wife and tried to
kill his little daughter last February. was
found dead in his room at the home OF J Judge
Drew, Rockland Lake. Judge Drew is the

the case OF the suit OF his wife for
bill as separation. About three
weeks ago the judge had his client taken to
his home, SO as to be with him when no
prepared his answer to the charges. His
dead body was found this afternoon, and
In tho room was an empty bottle which
had formerly contained mixture OF n.y.
drade OF choral. The buly was discovered
by DR.. Watson of Washington, D. c., a
guest of Judge Drew. A note was found in
Mr.. Wards hand riting addressed to Mr..
Watson, saying that the choral prescribed
was not strong enough, and that he had
been obliged to take it all together. DR..
Ward was n long time rector Of the Epis.
copal Church at Win ona, Minnesota.
